GitHub is the home for your Git-based projects on the internet – like DropBox but much, much better
We will use GitHub as a platform for web hosting and collaboration (and as our course management system!)
There are many git commands, and very few people know them all.
99% of the time you will use git to add, commit, push, and pull.
We will be doing Git things and interfacing with GitHub through RStudio, but if you google for help you might come across methods for doing these things in the command line – skip that and move on to the next resource unless you feel comfortable trying it out.
There is a great resource for working with git and R: happygitwithr.com.
We’ll make extensive use of this resource, please get acquainted.
